With performances hailed as “powerful” (Hello Vancity) and “breathtaking” (Hilary Clark for Opera Canada magazine), multi-award-winner Jacqueline Ko is a versatile artist who has performed in opera, theatre, musical theatre and film. Recently deemed “flawless” (Review Vancouver) in the title role of 'Suor Angelica', some of her other role highlights include Fiordiligi in 'Così fan tutte'; Queen of the Night in 'The Magic Flute'; Madame Herz in 'The Impresario'; Lauretta in 'Gianni Schicchi'; Sharon in 'Master Class'; Hansel and The Witch in 'Hansel and Gretel'; Norina in 'Don Pasquale'; and Olympia in ESUM in her Fringe Festival debut. Also an acclaimed concert artist, critics have declared that “Ko knows exactly what to do with an absolutely gorgeous voice, and her acting…can send chills up the spine” (Review Vancouver). She has been praised for her “definite aptitude” (Opera Canada) as the founding artistic director of Opera Mariposa and the Mariposa Theatre Wing, and is internationally recognized as a disability advocate whose Benefit & Awareness shows have raised over $85,000 to date for charity.
